Kim Struthers said the amendment allows reduced setbacks after two years, though the Planning Commission recommended against, preferring smaller setbacks from the start. Council Member Stallings called the two-year rule arbitrary and said it protects privacy of those who bought larger lots, and worried developers would seek exemptions. Council Members Newall, Condie, Albrecht and Hancock said setbacks are already inconsistent with sheds and accessory dwellings allowed closer to lines; the ordinance began with a resident who could not add a porch. Mayor Johnson said the reductions let families expand rather than move. The council approved it and directed staff to remove the two-year wait in all zones allowing reductions, include R-1-22, require the owner's certificate of occupancy, and reorganize the table.
